6. Install disks into storage shelves.

7. Connect a terminal to the maintenance port on one of the HSG80

controllers. You need a local connection to configure the controller for

the first time. The maintenance port supports serial communication

with the following default values:

• 9600 bits/sec

• 8 data bits

• 1 stop bit

• No parity

8. Connect the RA8000 or ESA12000 to the power source and apply power.

____________________ Note _____________________

For the HSG80 to see the connection to the KGPSAs, the

KGPSA host bus adapters must be cabled to the switch or

hub, with the system power applied before you turn power on

to the RA8000/ESA12000.

9. If an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is used instead of the external

cache battery, to prevent the controller from periodically checking the

cache batteries after power is applied, enter the following command:

HSG80> set this CACHE_UPS

____________________ Note _____________________

Setting the controller variable CACHE_UPS for one controller

sets it for both controllers.

10. From the maintenance terminal, use the show this and show other

commands to verify that controllers have the current firmware version.

See the Compaq StorageWorks HSG80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.5

CLI Reference Guide for information on upgrading the firmware.

11. To ensure proper operation of the HSG80 with Tru64 UNIX and

TruCluster Server, set the the controller values as follows. Note that the

port topology setting of fabric is specific to fabric configurations.

HSG80> set nofailover

HSG80> clear cli 2

HSG80> set this mirrored_cache 3

HSG80> set multibus copy = this 4

HSG80> clear cli 5

HSG80> set this port_1_topology = offline 6

HSG80> set this port_2_topology = offline 6
